    Rolling Milestones

    Click to download a printable 11x8.5 PDF.Having seemed to have already hit all the physical, behavioral and congnitive first month milestones found at BabyCenter (with the exception of laughing) and WebMD – and still a week away from her due date! – we decided it was time to hand BBG!™ the keys to her ride and let her take it for a spin. She slept through it. Hol and I loved it. And this begins the new Milestones series of reports from Baby Grrl! Labs™. A brief video is forthcoming either later today or tomorrow morning.

    Baby Grrl!™ Lab Report – The Perfect Grrl

    Click to download a printable 8x10 PDF.So, this is it! The final report in this volume of BG! Lab Reports.

    And this final document tracking BBG!’s gestation comes with a very special video providing proof that, contrary to what the “experts” said she would look like, she in no way resembled a stalk of Swiss chard.

    I haven’t really thought about what or how I want to document in this next phase of BBG!™’s life. But, rest assured, I’ll be cataloging the deets of the life and times of the Notorious B.B.G!.

    More SAHD News

    Recently, I was offered a really cool opportunity by the indefatigable SAHD powerhouse Chris S. of SAHD In Lansing. Chris, already repping the SAHD and DB community on his own blog (on which he graciously dedicates much time and space to hyping other Dad Bloggers with his Dad Blog Review), as a member of the recently formed DadRevolution.com , and now as the founder of the Band of SAHD. The opportunity? Chris invited me to be part of the Band. I accepted.

    Chris, SAHD to Tessa, has invited three other SAHDs (including myself) from different backgrounds and at different stages in their SAHDness to join him in broadcasting a “DiggNation meets the View” (my description – not sure how accurate it’ll prove to be) Internet radio show covering all things SAHD in depth and breadth. The other two that round out this crew are Edgar, who gives a candid view of raising his often hilarious, sometimes trying, daughter at Ed @ Home Dad, and James, who offers a wonderfully measured perspective on being a SAHD to his own two boys as well as his housemate’s son at SAHD PDX. Clearly, I’m the junior member when it comes to actual hands-on SAHD experience. I look forward to working with and learning from these three.

    We’re still kicking around topics, features and guest(?) for the innaugural show which you should be able to tune in to live Sunday nights beginning May 16. In the meantime, you can get updates on Twitter or on Facebook. Think Hol will let me broadcast from the delivery room? Stay tuned…

    And, yes, I did the logo up top. And, yes, that’s custom Rock Band-inspired type.

    Baby Grrl! Lab Report™ – Week 33

    Click to download 8x10 printable PDF.We had our second to last two week check in and we’ve got the latest stats on BBG!™ and Mom to prove it.

    But, you know the one glaring omission from all this info about BBG!™? You guessed it, her name. Or, rather, you haven’t guessed it. Or have you?

    It’s time to start thinking about starting a name pool if you people are going to do it.

    But you probably won’t guess it.

    Putting The "MOM" In MOMA And The "Pop" In Pop Art

    Nara’s Girl with Direction Indicator Flag (L) and Do Not Disturb! (R) | Both ca. 1996, I would guess it comes as no surprise (to regular readers) that we’ve got a lot of art around the house. Prints, paintings, photography, posters. And if there’s one thing I hope B.B.G!™ gets from Hol and I, it’s an appreciation for art and design. So, Club B.G! will be no exception.

    The first two pieces we’ll hang are a pair of prints by Japanese pop artist Yoshitomo Nara. Hol and I acquired these a couple of years ago and, up until now, they had hanging in our room. Nara may perhaps be familiar to parents as the author of the beautifully illustrated and very sweet children’s book, The Lonesome Puppy. Like all the best children’s books it’s great for adults too.

    My Sweet DogI’m not sure when Hol and I became fans of Nara’s but it was cemented by his phenomenal Winter 04-05 show at STL’s Contemporary Art Museum, Nothing Ever Happens. Since then, we’ve acquired one other piece that Baby Grrl!™ will definitely inherit – a gift from me to Hol for the Xmas of 08 –his My Sweet Dog pull toy that I ordered from the cool online kids store Oliebollen. And, one piece Too Young To Diewhich she may or may not inherit depending on how she plans to use it — his Too Young To Die ashtray.  Vote For Us @ topbabyblogs.com Top Baby Blogs
